[quote=flu]Romney is the candidate that people are going to think is out of touch with reality…He’s the “rich” person people just hate. and Obama and crew is going to have a field day on the Caymen Island accounts. Question: why do americans these days hate successful people?[/quote]
To be fair, I agreed with most of what you wrote, and I’m cherry-picking your final question.
I think a lot of people have a hard time accepting that a multi-millionaire who thinks 360K isn’t a lot of money to make in a year paid a lower effective tax rate on his income than they did. I understand how these tax incentives work, and I’m struggling with how it is fair. He’s actually the best incentive of a modified “fair tax” I’ve encountered, assuming it’s a version of the fair tax that gets rid of capital gains being taxed at a lower rate.
I’m actually surprised to see so many Republicans mutiny against him. Mitt Romney is a “Job Creator” in the truest Republican ideal. If you honestly believe in trickle down, he’s the ideal candidate. But maybe southern conservatives still hate Mormons that much?
